Aldehydes in lung cancer cell culture have been investigated using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry and solid-phase microextraction with on-fiber derivatization. In this study, the poly(dimethylsiloxane/divinylbenzene (PDMS/DVB) fiber was used and o-2,3,4,5,6-(pentafluorobenzyl) hydroxylamine hydrochloride (PFBHA) was first loaded on the fiber. Aldehydes in the headspace of lung cancer cell culture were extracted by solid-phase microextraction (SPME) fiber and subsequently derivatized by PFBHA on the fiber. Finally, the aldehyde oximes formed on the fiber were analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Using this method, acetaldehyde decrease was found in both non-small lung cancer cell cultures studied compared to the medium control study. The results of spiking the cell culture with acetaldehyde solution showed that 5 million SK-MES-1 cell lines could consume up to 4.5 uM acetaldehyde in 15-ml medium, and 5 million NCI-H522 cell lines could consume 5.9 uM acetaldehyde in 15-ml medium. The decrease of acetaldehyde may contribute to the metabolism of lung cancer cells. It was proved that GC/MS and SPME with on-fiber derivatization is a simple, rapid, sensitive and solvent-free method for the detection of aldehydes in lung cancer cell culture.
